Abstract
There is currently a diverse array of treatment for amblyopia. In addition to the traditional penalization therapy, which has been used for over 200 years, there are not only more active treatments to recover the monocular visual loss of the amblyopic eye involving both behavioral (visual training) as well as non-invasive brain stimulation but also a variety of methods designed specifically to restore binocular function. Our understanding of visual function in general and of the etiology of the amblyopic loss in particular has progressed a great deal over the last 50 years and it is now time to take a more principled approach to how we treat, when we treat and why we treat.
期刊介绍：
Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses. Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation. Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior. Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists. Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations. Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
